Error description

  • Reports containing a prompt page and a report page (Prompt
    Page1 and Page1 respectively).
    The prompt page of each report typically contains multiple value
    prompts and a tree prompt.
    User chooses an option from each of the prompts before clicking
    Run Report.
    After being presented with the results on Page 1 after
    adjusting the prompts on Prompt Page1. Page1 contains the
    same set of values and tree prompts on the left-hand side of the
    report as Prompt Page1.
    
    The report works fine if accessed directly from Team Content.
    However, a job consisting of the report with prompt values set,
    the browser loads indefinitely with no response given. This
    results in the user having to close the window and start again.
    
    The issue appears to originate only when the reports are
    configured with the two tree prompts set (one in each page as
    per the above). If one of the two tree prompts are removed (for
    example, deleting Prompt Page1), the user is then able to set
    the default prompt values when creating the job and it is set
    successfully.
